In my opinion, this blog fulfills the concepts of third place in many ways. It is convenient to express themselves for the people who have access to use internet because it does not have limit of space or time and our main activities are focused on trading opinion, which can be a conversation if we think about it as a "actual world". However, I somewhat disagree that blog makes everyone feel comfortable. It is not fully open place as a bar, coffee shop, or library since we are involved in here as a member of class. This is limited to specific group of people who has already had connections of some degree of knowledge and some specific terms.
I think it is a great place to get social capital because there are members who have various background and there are connections among us. It is not just place for social capital, but also place for human capital since we are posting different opinions about same ideas.
